I've heard the numbness can last up to 2 years. I'm pretty numb on both breasts, but at least the sandpaper feeling is gone and my nipples aren't sensitive to the tiniest amount of pressure anymore!!

Man that is a bummer! But I suppose it could be worse. Happy your nipples aren't as sensitive anymore, It is not very fun.

Day 16- numbness

Jmar48
I have a lot of numbness in my left
Breast still. Wondering if anyone else experienced this. Is it common? Temporary? Permanent? I'd say about 70% is numb and the nipple is extremely sensitive (not in a good way). Thankfully righty is doing well, but I'd really like if I could have sensation in both. :(
I took some updated pics. I think they are starting to look quite natural. They have dropped down a bit more but I'm not sure if the "fluff" has happened yet. My pain level has seemed to have gone down significantly over the past two days, so I've just been taking Tylenol. And I've been much more comfortable sleeping on my side so that has helped tremendously!

2 week mark blues

Hey all. I'm two weeks in and am starting to feel like this pain will never end. I keep having to take pain meds every six hours and the second they run out I start really hurting. I'm also having trouble sleeping which is making things worse! It doesn't help that my back has been killing me and I can still only sleep on my back. So excited to sleep on my side again! Anyway, just ranting. I'm sure it will start getting better soon.

It's ok to rant! Just wanted to encourage you. I'm almost three weeks and there's been a huge difference in how I felt at two weeks and now. My back pain is almost gone and sleeping is so much easier even though I can't sleep on side yet. Hope things get better soon :)

Thank you so much. It's hard to imagine it getting better, but helps to know other peoples' timeline to give me hope! Glad you are starting to feel better! :D

Sorry to hear that. Have you spoken to your doctor about the amount of pain? I'm thinking about ya!
September 24, 2014
I haven't talked to my Doctor and I won't see him again for a month, but I think (fingers crossed) it's starting to get better! I've felt less of a need to med up after six hours and I have a lot more energy. Thanks for checking in. :)
